My new workout program -Mark

Hi again, it's me, Mark,

Here's my workout program for the foreseeable future.  I won't go into the individual exercises now until I can talk about doing them with perfect form...this workout comes from Arnold Schwarzeneggers "Encyclopedia for modern bodybuilding" I borrowed this from my local library then ordered a copy 2 days later.

This book covers everything and its heavy enough to be used as free weights itself!




These workouts are to be done twice a week, therefore 6 days a week with 1 day of proper rest.

Workout 1 (aka Monday+Thursday)
                   
                    Chest, back, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 2 (aka Tuesday+Friday)

                    Shoulders, arms, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 3 (aka Wednesday+Saturday)

                    Thighs, calves, lower back, abs and 30 mins cardio

This is going to be the hardest workout program I have ever attempted but I will succeed, nothing will stop me achieving what I want.  There will be obstacles but it's how you overcome them will define my success...I can't wait for it to start and it starts from today!

Thanks for reading

Mark

My stats update-Mark

After a few weeks away from blogging due to illness, family commitments and the kids Easter hols I am back to it this week.

A new workout plan devised, it's time to work harder, faster, longer and better to get where I want to be!

With that in mind its my stats update time...let's see if the past couple of months is showing progress.

Weight -98kg...I have put on 1 kilo due to eating crap over the last week!
Chest - 117cm...stayed the same
Waist - 104cm...stayed the same
Biceps - 39cm...increased by 1cm
Thighs - 64.5cm...increased by 7cm
Calves - 45.5cm...increased by 0.5cm

Well, that could have been worse...much worse!
I am quite happy overall as I expected to put on some weight due to my diet being poor over the last couple of weeks...No excuses, my fault entirely.  A quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger "GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out"
On the plus side though my thighs have increased by 7cm of muscle and my biceps are getting bigger...remember all progress, no matter how small is still progress!

My next post will be my new workout routine for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for reading.
